Something we get asked an awful lot here is what the heck is a “pea-sized” serving that we suggest for our Kava paste? We understand that it’s an unconventional measuring system, and although we thought it was simple, customers seem to be having some trouble with the measure. So, we’re here to help! How about something conventional when measuring out your Kavalactone doses? We’ve weighed and re-reweighed product, we’ve looked at it from every angle, and it turns out that 2 pea-sized amounts of Kavalactone Paste equal almost exactly 1/8 of a teaspoon!...

Aloha Everyone! Makaira here! I hope all of you are enjoying the transition into fall. Here at Kona Kava Farm, our busy harvest season is finally slowing down, giving me some time to relax and update my blog! We’ve been receiving many questions from customers about the worldwide legal status of kava recently, so I’ve taken the time to update my article on the topic. Please head on over and take a look. Please note that we’ve been having a tricky time getting our kava to Australia and Italy. If you live in one of these countries, we will ship to you, but be aware that you...

Aloha everyone! Ever since I was a child, I have been drinking kava cold.

On many evenings on the islands, I have felt the relaxing “way of kava” flow through my body even before the coconut shell has left my lips. Good kava is so immediate it can surprise the new drinker. But what accounts for this? The active tranquility-promoting constituents of kava are a group of resinous compounds known as kavalactones. The kavalactones have been the objects of chemical research since the...

Rick Wolf asked: How come I have seen pictures from two different people claiming to sell 84% kavalactone liquigels that look exactly like the ones i just received from you? They are exactly the same, the color of the gel capsule varies from yellow to milky in the picture from the wholesaler just like the ones I received from you. Do you sell your product to wholesalers? How come their kava pills looked exactly like the ones I received from you? Makaira says: We are probably not the only ones in the world who sell kavalactone liquigels, and since the product contained within the liquigels is...
